It's Love!
EVE 4 id miss George intensely,
nchlngly. She might not be In

Oenny No, not as she bad been with
Denny that was what had betrayed
ber. She missed George as it some
pari of herself was gone. A lack as
enormous and unbearable as starva
tion, as deprivation of breath and
Ught.
She laughed aloud, with the In
credible delight of It Shi loved
George! More than that, the was a
part it him, of everything be was
and said and did. as he was of her.
rhat was why the Kay girl had
thought they were married, tn a
thousand wayi they were married, as
wa uian-ine luj George, as she had
so often been oefore. but now more
proudly.
The Gardlners wanted .u know ii

huuse instead of coming jnd going in
bathing suits as most of them did.
Eve went In to tell Maine, asking

With Dreaming Eyes
CHS went on with her work blithe

iling George's place, as they always
Jid. whether he was there or not She
walked with ourmng cheeks and
dreaming eyes and quick laughter,
waiting till George came home She
She went over and pulled open a
drawer. It was full of shee.s covered
with notes n George's small upright
hand. She locked down at tt. dream

Into a tiling cabinet, she knew: out

would use It again for storehouse

"Try Olvitz ointment for that tired
feeling." If Peary had found a sign
post with thoso words at his dis
covery of the North Pole, he couldn't
have been much more amazed than
were the three expeditions at meet
ing high In the Andes mountains In
1633.
Tho three expeditions had aa heads
Jimenez de Quesacla, Nicholas Peder-
mann. and Belnlcaznr. All three had
fought their way through thousands
of miles of South American wilder
ness, never before explored by white
man all three had tolled -up the
mighty Andes and all three had come
out at the same place to meet!
Quesada arrived there first. He
had set out for purposes of explora
tion and conquest In 1636 and ar
rived at the present site of Bogota,
capltnl of Colombia, two years latrr
Here ho decided to stay awhile, sub
dued surrounding native villages
and started to clear a space for a
town. Hardly had he settled down
when Into the clearing stumbled the
German explorer. Pedermann, and
tho surviving members of his worn
out band who had etarted into the
Jungles of the Amazon from Vene
zuela some years before. Pedermann
had never heard of Quesada, nor
Quesada of Pedermann. Then, to top
the whole thing off. Belalcazar ar
rived with his expedition from Peru.
Sheer coincidence had brought him.
He had known of neither of the
other two parties and had started
out with no specific objective In
mind. Yet. of all the millions ot
square miles of South America, he
had been drawn to the same spot as
Queaada and PedermannI
